Series: Mint Editions

Censored on its release in 1841, Tess of the d'Urbervilles challenged attitudes with its depiction of a woman forced into a chain of painful circumstances by her social status and by the often cruel treatment of friends, family and the men who loved her.

At once a novel of character and a sharply critical novel of society and class, Tess of the d'Urbervilles follows its heroine through a social and emotional gauntlet. The memory of abuse and the stigma of a pregnancy out of wedlock haunt Tess as she struggles with the stern strictures of society, the uncharitable attitudes of those around her and, most formidable of all, her own desires.

A steady stream of critical re-interpretations of Tess has only lent strength to her standing as one of the most memorable characters in Victorian fiction.

Troubling, intense and possessing a uniquely emotional brand of narrative suspense, the novel has come to be seen as not simply a classic but as Thomas Hardy's masterpiece.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Tess of the d'Urbervilles is both modern and readable.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English poet and novelist who initially trained and showed promise as an architect. His third published novel, Far from the Madding Crowd, was successful enough that he was able to devote himself to writing. Hardy’s work displays a concern that the conventions of Victorian society were damaging to many and an empathy toward those it made suffer. His richly drawn characters, in novels like Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess of the d’Urbervilles, engage in a timeless striving for happiness and a chance to rise above a world that offers implacable barriers to their hopes.
